Tom Sinclair
Tom Sinclair is a senior writer for EW and has been called "the handsomest man in rock criticism'' (by his wife)
As it turns out, the smug title of Imperial Teen's second album is pretty apt. There's something fundamentally warm and cuddly about the mixed-gender quartet's seductive mix of indie-rock cliches (distorted guitars, diffident vocals) and hook-and-harmony-informed popcraft. Although the two arty seven-minute-plus tracks prove they should keep their songs half that length, those are the only missteps on this spunky, relentlessly tuneful disc. B+
